We had a great stay!

The space was comfortable, clean and relaxing. We really enjoyed the spa and all the games. It was a great way to spend quality time with our family. We went to the beach several times. We were grateful for the chairs and beach items!

Wonderful!

We originally booked this home but due to unforeseen circumstances we were told we couldn’t but instead were upgraded to a much better place they had and also was available at the same time. We are so very thankful for how accommodating they were and hope to stay again sometime.

Great place to stay with children

Both the adults and the children had a great time in this home. So many activities indoors and out to keep everyone entertained. The kitchen was well equipped and large enough for 6 adults to move around. It is located a short drive from Legoland, restaurants, and grocery stores. When there was a problem with the clothes washer Casey responded promptly and a maintenance man repaired it the next day. This house will be on our short list for a return trip. Barbara

DO NOT BOOK - Would give zero stars if I could

I booked this property months in advance only to have the host cancel on me 18 hours prior to check in. I didn't even see the cancellation until I was two hours into my drive to Oceanside with my husband, two small children and parents. The host was non-responsive until I called VRBO to get help. Once she did respond, I was told there was an "electrical issue". I'm fairly certain she found someone to book last minute at triple my rate. DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY. Such a disappointment. Save yourself and your family the heartache of a busted vacation.

It's my favorite!

This home is one where you feel like you could just move in, it’s that welcoming. The house is clean, comfortable, and spacious. It is nice enough that it makes you want to spend time at the home itself instead of leaving. Casey is a great host and does an incredible job. Overall just an excellent, comfortable stay and I can’t recommend this place enough!
